[URGENT] How to receive a string from UART ?

[Altera_Forum]

Hi! I am only able to receive the last char from the UART and was wondering how can I receive a string from UART 

 HyperTerminal -> UART -> Terminal 0 (Nios II Console)  I am using Nios II C Programming I guess... Please Help Me! Thank You!

Hi, which board, which NIOS II program, which UART driver ? 

 In almost programs for beginner ("getting started", tutorials), every time you send a character to UART, it triggers an interruption and copy it to the Nios II Terminal.  A string is a suite of characters.  So what is the problem ? You want Terminal to print the entire string ? You have to memorize the characters until a Carrier Return is received and after print it to terminal...  Regards.

try with '\n'

I tried to compare with the message I get but it still doesn't works... 

is there any other way?

Are you beginner in C program ? 

Comparing strings in C is not so easy as comparing integers. Keep in mind that a string in C is terminated by a NULL character '\0' You can compare a suite of characters.  Before comparing, just try to simply print the received strings.  The output may be buffered. So "printf" seems to not work. You can "force" the print by adding a function that looks like "flush()".   could you please tell us what you exactly want to do ?
